Ingredients
•
3 pounds chicken wings
•
2 eggs, beaten
•
1 cup all-purpose flour
•
1 cup margarine
•
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
•
3 tablespoons soy sauce
•
3 tablespoons water
•
1 cup brown sugar
•
1 teaspoon monosodium glutamate (MSG)

1/2 teaspoon salt
•
3 serrano chile peppers, minced

Directions
1
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Blot chicken wings dry with a paper towel.
3
Beat the eggs in a bowl, and place the flour in another bowl. Dip chicken wings into the egg, then into the flour to lightly coat, shaking off the excess.
4
Melt the margarine in a large skillet over medium high heat.
5
Pan fry the chicken wings until well browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
6
Meanwhile, gently boil the cider vinegar, soy sauce, water, brown sugar, monosodium glutamate, salt, serrano chile peppers, and ginger in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.
7
Toss the browned chicken wings in the sauce to coat, then transfer the wings to large baking dish with a slotted spoon. Reserve remaining sauce.
8
Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes, rotating and basting with the reserved sauce after 15 minutes.
9
Sprinkle sesame seeds on the chicken wings before serving.
